Another evidence of the high estimation
in which this prosperous locality is held,
and of the great interest 1t is attracting
amongst our own people, as well as among
visitors from the East, was fully manifested
yesterday. The grand success which at
ten ded the third auction sale Of lots, held
in the suburbs of that thriving neigbbor-
hood, under the auspices OF the Los Ange-
les and SAINTS Ana Land Bureau, must have
been gratifying to that association. Had
nature carefully selected morning for
some auspicious event. she could not have
chosen one which, in every particular, was
more charming than that of yesterday. Es-
pecially was 1t grateful to our friends from
the colder States, as the atmosphere was
laden with that rich, balmy freshness pecu-
liar to our Southern cline, which was most
agreeable to the strangers. The welcome
gentle showers which recently fell did
much TO add to the pleasures of the day.

and was met at Santa ANA by large num-
| Der Of vehicles OF every style and several
street-cars for free use. all of which were
soon filed, and conveyed the crowd to the

for location and neighborhood they could
not be surpassed, beiag opposite to tie

the bystanders, and in the short space OF
one and a half hours sold out seventy-two
lots for the round sum OF $l6,0 900. This

The Bottineau pioneer. (Bottineau, N.D.) 1885-1895, 1887-12-08

decide as to the constitutionality Of
any law; that is the province of the
Court.
There are many people who believe
that the law passed by the last legisla'
ture cutting off a portion Of Bottineau
County and attaching it to McHenry
County was unconstitutional, and we
are of those who so believe, yet, new
ertheless it is the law and as such, un-
til its unconstitutionality is officially
declared, should be obeyed and we
have blamed the County Commission.
'ers for not SO regarding it and pro
ceeding as they should have done, 6
mouths ago, to collect the money due
Bottineau County under and by vir-
tue of said law, and we blame them
still.
ANY act done in good faith under
a possible and plausible misconception
of the law, so long as it effects no great
individual injury but on the contrary
accomplishes great public good, pub
lie policy would dictate to recognize
as an excusable infraction Of the law
and the only good that we a see
that this discussion of the section line
road law can and should effect is, that
with a clearer, understanding Of the
law, the course hitherto honestly pur-
sued Tor the public good may be made
to conform to what may seem q wiser
and a better, perhaps more constitu.
method.

felt their license and become private ware
house men unless we protect them In their
efforts to carry on q public warehouse in
accordance with the wishes Of the larger
majority Of our patrons. Our only reason
for shutting of the private warehouses n
side track loading is in consequence Of .
strict Interpretation Of the Law which pre-
vents our furnishing cars to private indi-
viduals to the detriment Of the larger share
of our patrons who patronize the public ell
evators. We would be pleased to have you
take our decision to the commissioners, as
it is entirely out OF the question for us TO
supply the public elevators and private in
dividuals with cars. Yours truly,

culiar and it will be interesting now to note
what the commissioners will cay oft when

Our farmer friend and tax payer
was unable to prepare his letter on
the road and bridge laws in time for
publication this week, but he gives
ianother twist of the crank on the
Greiner business, which may probab-
'ly interest some Of our readers.
:. What is desired in this matter is
the truth-truth left free to combat
error wherever and whenever it ap-
'psears,
: If any injustice be done 20 MIR.
Greiner or any one, the columns Of
the Pioneer will always be open to
him or to any one who may feel
aggrieved to answer criticism, refute
charges or repel insinuations. 1t
seems to us however, that this matter
has been thoroughly ventilated and if
Mr.. Greiner's position is a correct one
and he desires to be fully vindicated,
let the law take its course, for as we
have before said, truth has nothing to
fear from error if truth is left free to
combat it.
